Search Bar for Animal Trading

Hi all, I know it's come up many times before, most recently in the update thread, but I felt we should address this head-on!

It's about time we get a search bar for the Animal Trading Market.

Now hear me out, naysayers, because I believe we all can benefit from this one. Take for example, you're in my situation. You're building a new exhibit for an animal you already know is going in there. The game forces you to click through endless menus, or it forces you to scroll down an extensive checklist and tick the creature. If you already know what animal you're hoping to put in there, why waste all that time scrolling and clicking? I feel as if we had a search bar, it would benefit us all in terms of speed and reduce aggressions and frustrations towards the game. The UI system is already a bit too confusing, even for me sometimes who has dealt with it for the past year or so, but I do believe this could be a HUGE win for the development team. We've been requesting this change for quite some time and I think the devs should consider this worthwhile addition.

Cheers y'all!

Where do I need to sign? We have a search bar in the zoopedia and in the building menu, but we also want it to be in the animal trade tabs.

Please!

Totally. I'm tired of scrolling down to "Pronghorn", buying a few, then scrolling back to "Pronghorn" and then scrolling up the "Bingturong", buying a few, then yada yada yada. We have this in the other tabs, so I agree: why not the animal market. And also the exhibit market?

NicholasLionRider had a great idea of what a new one could look like, you could click on the icon of whatever animal you're hoping to purchase, and it would expand to see what specifies you're hoping to secure, gender, quality, etc.

Even something like this would be incredibly beneficial as well.

Would be especially helpful with the cases where the names for animals are kinda, unnecessarily long or arent where you'd expect them to be on the list (ie: West African Lion instead of just... Lion) it'd be nice to just be able to search lion and get lions yknow
Click to expand...
That and...my most irritating one...the "common". Okay, they're common just call them their shorter name. which is funny I have that pet peeve as I'm all the time asking for the common wombat. But if it made the game "wombat" is enough.

Search bar would definitely be helpful -- as an addition to the ability to click several species (not replacing it).

The picture idea would work fine in sandbox, but would not be as helpful in franchise mode, where you may be watching the market for several species at once (and waiting for the right stats/price).

Again -- I'm fully behind having a search bar option. Just want to make sure they don't take away the other tools that some game modes need when they go to add this in. (We'e seen that happen a few times now, ergo my caution!)
